Character Portraits

[Eiliya]

Hi there!

So, there's been an update to RenPy (I have no idea when it happened, it might be old news) and that update has messed up the character portraits in a game I was working on. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ r_nor = Character(_('Ruzzy'),
                        color="#c8ffc8",
                        window_left_padding=160,
                        show_side_image=Image("images/r_normal.png", xalign=0.0, yalign=1.0))

label start:
    r_nor "Hi there, world!"

The code worked before I updated the engine, but stopped working after. Instead, I now get the following error message, which doesn't make any sense at all to me:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 8, in script
    r_nor "Hi there, world!"
Exception: Unknown keyword arguments: side_image

Any help on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Side images aren't defined inside the character anymore, or something like that.

Here's the documentation:

Thanks. I'll give that a read.

I got it to work. Thanks a lot. So, how do I change the name of this topic to include the [SOLVED] that I see a lot of people using?

Simply edit the first post. You can rename the title of the post that way.
